Quotes 

• Himself - Winner: Best Original Screenplay/Co-Winner: Best Picture : I'd like to thank Universal Studios, DreamWorks and Participant Media. As writers when you have Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen, and Linda Cardellini saying your lines you pinch yourself, consider yourself the luckiest writers on the face of the earth. I want to thank the entire cast and crew, my whole family, all my friends who've put up with my career. And particularly George and Eileen Currie, best parents anybody could ever have.

  Himself - Co-Winner: Best Original Screenplay/Best Picture/Nominated: Best Director : They say if you want to go somewhere fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. I got a lot of people to thank, starting with the entire state of Rhode Island. Thank you very much. I want to thank Viggo, Mahershala, and Linda. We have nothing without you guys; I mean nothing. Also I want to thank my wife Melinda, my kids Bob and App up there. Richard Lovett, Joe Mann, Jeff Okin, Cindy Gesner, Peter Grossman, Amanda Lundberg, Stacey Leinson, David Linde, Jonathan King, Robert Kessel, Christina Kounelias, J.B. Rogers, Charlie Wessler, Jim Burke, Ted Virtue, Sean Porter. Tom Kartsotis and Shinola watches. Unbelievable, they're saving Detroit. And finally I want to thank my brother and Bennett Yellin, who got me into this business. I'm nothing without you. Best people ever.

  Himself - Winner: Best Original Screenplay/Co-Winner: Best Picture : This an amazing honor, thank you everyone for voting for us. Thank you to the other nominees. What an amazing category to be in with such talented people. This is an amazing room of filmmakers. Embrace ourselves and love each other. Thank you all, my mother and father. Dad, we did it.

• Himself - Winner: Best Picture : Aloha, and thank you to the members of the Academy. It's such a privilege. This is like a dream. We need to start by thanking our friends at Participant Media, who have been with us all along the way. Thanks for their belief. We can't overlook Universal and eOne and Lionsgate and Cinetic and Angellotti. And I personally want to thank Christina and Maddie and all the Burkes and all the Simpkins. We made this film with love. And we made it with tenderness. And we made it with respect. And it was all done under the direction of Pete Farrelly. Pete, it's been an honor, a privilege.

  Himself - Co-Winner: Best Original Screenplay/Best Picture/Nominated: Best Director : Thank you very much. You know, he's right. This is, the whole story is about love. It's about loving each other despite our differences and finding out the truth about who we are. We're the same people. And this doesn't start, by the way, without Viggo Mortensen, right there. We have no movie - all these awards are because Viggo, and Mahershala and Linda, but it started with Viggo. And I give you this
